And I love China! So when you put those two together, I get pretty excited! Two years ago when I was in China you could already sense the excitement for the Olympics there. Even in the city where I was which was quite a ways away from Beijing I was told that athletic stores started popping up once they got the bid. 
All over Beijing you could find countdown clocks. I was in Beijing 739 days before the Olympics started. Good thing they were keeping track! :)
I bought a shirt and with the emblem just like what is on the picture below and proudly wore it Friday when the Olympics started. 
My favorites to watch are gymnastics, swimming, and diving. I'm not as fond of team sports like volleyball and basketball, and I was so surprised to see water polo this morning. I didn't realize that was a sport in the Olympics. I look forward to the endless hours of the Olympics that I will see in the next 2 weeks. GO USA....and go China!
